The TEFC motor requires 1” extra space below the bed to allow airflow and room to pivot the
motor down for belt changes.For mounting on a stand, the spacers may not be needed if the
motor can swing free below the bed casting when mounted on the stand plate.
- Align the machine so there is ample space in front and in back for working and moving around it. Locate it so any
turning debris or kickback will not face aisles, doorways, or other work areas that bystanders may be in. Do not locate or
use the machine in damp or wet conditions.
- Make sure that the machine is level. If possible, secure it to a bench or its stand to the floor with lag screws (not
supplied). This will reduce any possible vibration during use.
To adjust the clamping action of the tool rest base, or
tailstock, adjust the locking nut (B) - turn it clockwise
to tighten, and counterclockwise to loosen. This nut
adjustment can be done when the tool rest base or
tailstock are on, or off of the lathe bed. The locking lever
must be loose when the nut is adjusted. Then, with the
tool rest base or tailstock installed on the bed, test the
clamping action after nut adjustments are made.
